Gold Coast vs. Geelong Predictions

Best Bet

Geelong @ $2.27

Bet Now

After losing to the Lions in the Grand Final last year, Geelong is back to make another deep run in 2026.

We expected them to be the favourites against Gold Coast, and if this game was played in Melbourne, the Cats would be around $1.58 with bookmakers. Therefore, punters get much better odds simply because they’re on the road.

The team is stacked with quality players, including Jeremy Cameron, Shannon Neale, and Patrick Dangerfield. It’s an excellent roster, and although the SUNS have Ben King and Ben Long in the scoring department, Geelong’s defence can handle it.

The $2.27 odds are too good to pass up, so take the upset value.

Same Game Multi

Geelong H2H, Jeremy Cameron 2+ Goals, Oliver Dempsey 1+ Goal, Total Match Points Over 172.5 @ $6.50

Bet Now

Most of the value with this AFL same game multi comes with Geelong head-to-head, which means we can take shorter odds with prop bets.

Our best AFL prop bet is Jeremy Cameron 2+ goals. He didn’t score in the Grand Final, but he was injured, which severely dented Geelong’s chances. He had nine goals in his previous three games, so he should be back to his best.

Oliver Dempsey is a $1.52 chance to score a goal. We fancy his chances, following a four-goal effort in the Grand Final. His confidence levels are high, so take the short odds.

It should be a high scoring game. Over 172.5 points is worth including in AFL picks this week.

Best Value Bet

Geelong Wire-to-Wire @ $3.70

Bet Now

Our AFL predictions have Geelong winning the first quarter and never looking back. They want to make a big statement given the way they lost to Brisbane, and the best way to bounce back is by giving Gold Coast no chance.

The odds are too good to pass up, and the last time they met, Gold Coast scored only 37 points, including two points in the first quarter.

There will be more points in store, but that should give Geelong a stack of confidence.
